Ths Mystery OF the Duluth Bank Robbery
DspeIlcd. ,s
On the afternoon of Friday, Sept. l6, the
cashier Of the Union National Bank OF Du-
lrth Mimi, was startled to discover that
somebody had, in mysterious manner, en-
tered the vault of the bank sometime after
the noon hour and had taken therefrom seve-
raj large packages Of money, amounting in
all to S24,5 500 The seeming mysterious ac-
tons of young clerk in the bank attracted
attention. A careful watch was kept on his
movements. The young man had resigned
his position in the bank and stated he was
going back to Haverhill, Mass. Instead OF
leaving directly he stayed around Duluth for
a few days, acting suspiciously. Last week
he shipped his baggage, and, instead of go,
ing on the train himself, went to a road
house few miles out of Duluth, and from
there took the next train for st. Paul. and
from there went to Minneapolis and stayed
a day. and left in the evening for M1iwau-
kee When he arrived in Chicago he was
met by one of Pnkertons men. On being
accused of the robbery, and asked where the
money was, he stated that the money
was in his valise, which was brought
away with him to the office. The valise'was
found to contain the original packages, and
Bickell had only taken about Sl50 from
it. He at once made full confession as to
the manner in which he committed the rob
berry. He said that he had frequently noticed
that while the cashier read a paper he held
it above his face in such way that man
could easily slip into the vault, and from that
and other reasons of carelessness on the
part of the bank officials, he had planned the
robbery The first thing he did was to pick
out place to hide this money, next to buy
tin box andLput it there. On Friday, Sept. 10,
an opportunity came for him to get large
sum of money, which had been put up for the
payment of some mines. He took out sl5o
for general use, and the rest he left hid until
the night that he left Duluth. He purchased
with the money he kept out suit OF Clothes;
new valise, a ticket to Pertlfni, Me, and
only got as far as Chicago, where lie was
taken up with the money in his possession
He was taken to Duluth.

THE DELHI POISONING CASE.
woman's Terrible Crime to Obtain
Property.

Property.
Particulars have been received of the fatal
poisoning of 10 persons week ago near
Delhi, La, in family consisting of old Mr..
King, his daughter and two sons by former
wife Some property belonged to Mr. King
which his two sons by his first wife would
inherit. Mrs. King wished to secure this
property for her daughter, but in order to
attain this object it was necessary to get the
two Objectionable sons out of the way. On
Nov 2 she gave party, at which 81 persons
assembled to partake of her hospitality.
Supper was prepared under the direction of
an old colored cook, and among the other
eatables was stuffed turkey. The old
negro ate some of the dressing
and died soon after. Before her
demise, suspicion was aroused of
foul play, and the county judge and district
attorney went to her for statement She
said that, while she was in the kitchen, Mrs.
King came in and poured some fluid into the
dressing for the turkey, which she said was
vinegar The cook told her she ought not to
put vinegar into the dressing, but Mrs. King
told her to mind her own business. The cook
died that night, also her husband and two
children. as we'll as the two sons of Mr.. King
Everybody who ate any of the dressing either
died or was made very sick. The statement
of the cook caused suspicion to at once rest
on Mrs King, and she was arrested. The
people of Crowville and Lamar were so much
excited over the occurrence that some of the
Kings would have been lynched had not
cooler Judgment prevailed

work of getting the citizens of the Uuited
States interested 10 the establishment Of
an avenue from the Aqueduct bridge at
Georgetown to NJ unit Vernon, and OF
making 1t the grandest national highway In

states and territories OF the Union to each
improve a section Of the roadway, by cul-
tivating trees, erecting statuary, and in
such other ways as they may deem advis-
able, the choice to be given to the original
thirteen states. 1t Is also proposed that the
avenue shall be 100 feet wide, twenty fee.
on each side to be used as parking. The
distance when apportioned will give each
state and territory about 400 yards, or
nearly quarter Of mile, to improve with
trees, of native growth, erect q marble
tablet with name Of state or territory, aud
its coat of arms, and in the case OF the
original thirteen, the names OF the signers

1t Is Hardly Possible.

IT is with sincere regret that the Ma
T1oSAL REPUBLICAN, sees chronicled In the
news OF the day the statement that Mrs.
Cleveland deliberately put a slight upon
Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, and his wife when
they in COMMON with hundred OF others
called to pay their respects to the Chief
Magistrate of the nation apd his wife.
Mrs. Cleveland was not at the celebration
of the hundreth anniversary of the adop-
tion Of the constitution as Mrs. Grover
Cleveland, but she was there as the first
lady OF the land-the wife of the President
Of the United states--a position in which
she has heretofore borne herself in man
ner to attract the plaudits OF every person
in the nation.
1t cannot be possible that Mrs. Cleveland
has forgotten that she is not merely the
wife of Grover Cleveland. Sue remen-
bered very well, when she answered the
letter from New York asking her to deliver
the flags presented to the old firemen OF
that city, that she was the wife OF the Presi-
dent and as such could not do any act In
consistent with the dignity of his high
position.
So, II she endeavored TO put an indignity
upon the governor Of Ohio, Mrs. Cleveland
was acting as the wife Of the President and
presumably with his concurrence. For that
reason, with others, we cannot believe but
that there is some mistake In the published
statements of what occurred at the recep-
tion in Philadelphia.
To try and slight Gov. Foraker on chat
occasion was to put an indignity upon the
state OF Ohio. lie and his wife were there
as the representatives Of Ohio, as President
Cleveland and his wife were there as the
representatives Of the United States. To
slight these representatives would be to
slight the state, with all that 1t has given to
the nation. To slight these representatives
would be to slight Chase, and Grant, aud
Sheridan, and Waite, and the hundred
thousand soldiers Ohio sent into the Union
armies.
1t is not possible that any such slight wa
intended. There must be some mistake IN
the current accounts Of the affair. Mrs
Cleveland is well-polsed LADY, every way
worthy of the position she fills, and 1t II
not probable that she, for the only tint
since her marriage, forgot, on so importan
an occasion as that at Philadelphia, wha
was due to herself and her position.

the temperature has lost
a good deal of its mustard

speedily be compelled to lay
aside the light straws, with
their null and gauzes and

was, cool weather calls for

a heavier texture.
We are positioned to
show you what fashion has

Every day we are receiv-

felt goods-novelties and
accepted models of beauty
in Hats and Bonnets. On
Saturday we opened a line
of superb feathers, tips,
wings, &c., in numberless
variety, high-priced, me-
dunn quality, and the mod

offer that is new we have
